A member asked:

I have hip tightness and pain at times on the sides of my hips. i made a step that was a bit too wide and caused pain on the side of my hip. what is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hip pain: You may have a sprain or strain of one or more of the muscles in your hip after taking that big step. Physical therapy should help. The sharp pain on both sides sounds more like bursitis which is inflammation of the hip bursa and usually hurts when you lie on that side. Consider a visit to a PM&R physician for best evaluation.
